Description

The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

Published by R.W. Northey from 1894-04-14 to 1895-03-02; Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Co. from 1895-03-09 to 1896-04-04 and 1901-01-17 to 1905-12-30; Atkins and Smith from 1896-04-11 to 1898-03-26; Atkins and Campbell from 1898-04-09 to 1899-05-13; and B.R. Campbell from 1899-05-20 to 1901-01-10.

The Conservative Candidate's Address. w t to tlie Electors of Revelstoke Riding: Gentlemen',���������Having been nominated as the Liberal-Conservative can J didate" in this riding, I beg,lo put before you briefly my stand on the most important questions now before the electorate. I , am in full sympathy with - tbe Eight-iiour law for underground miners. Tlie law has come to stay and 'will not be interfered with except at the united request of all parties chiefly interested in. it. It is my opinion that the time^has ��������� come for a firm stand to be made in this Province against the further immigration of Oriental' cheap labor any]*-.;i iiy_niprigiire^-\yhich the Provin ciai Legislature can pass to check this "rowing evil will receive mv support and T shall be in favor of tlie strongest pressure being placed on the Dominion, and Imperial authorities" to assist, by the most strongest measures, this Province in what is now threatening to become a. veritable struggle for existence for white workiugmen. 1 am a firm believer iii the principle of government ownership of railways. The provision of some effective system for the settlement . of disputes between' ���������' capital- .-.and,, labor is much needed and uny-measure in this direction as well as' any other to improve the conditions' of the laboring classes will find me iu its favor. , -= ' ��������� This riding requires .the establishment of a registration office at Kevel- stoke to facilitate the conduct of business iu tbc district, and the construction of a gaol is anollier'require- ment which would receive my'attention. - . ' ' It is my belief that the pooulation of Kootenay ' has reached a point at which the establishment of a high school at such a central point as Revelstoke has become necessary. The development of the , Big Bend mineral section is.*, a point- which I would'do my utmost to further. The completion ot the wagon road, to the head of the canyon and the subsidizing a line of steamers on the upper rivet- would form, in my opinion, legitimate methods for the legislature to adopt- in order to attain this desirable object, I would work for the construction of roads, trails and bridges, on a liberal scale throughout the riding, feeling sure that the money'expended in the development of the. magnificent resources of the Trout Lake, Lardeau, Fish River, Illecillewaet and Big Bend sections will eventually prove a pay- in" investment for the Provinoe in the lar'e increase of revenue which will accrue with the growth of mining activity within the district. If elected I pledge myself to u.-e my utmost endeavors to cany out lli* above mentioned line of policy in it-* entirely.' On this ground'1 beg to solicit.your votes on the ninth of June.
